On Tuesday, May 11, 2011, a group of MinnPost employees requested that I, as MinnPost executive director, voluntarily recognize the Minnesota Newspaper & Communications Guild, TNG-CWA Local 37002 as the exclusive collective bargaining representative of all eligible full-time and part-time employees.
MinnPost respects and recognizes its employees’ right to unionize, and Thursday, I signed a voluntary recognition agreement with MinnPost Union.
I’m eager to work with MinnPost Union to continue advancing MinnPost’s mission to serve Minnesota with in-depth, independent journalism. Our staff is at the heart of this work, and I greatly appreciate everything they do to serve our community through our journalism. I look forward to a productive partnership to expand the reach and impact of MinnPost’s nonprofit newsroom.
This is great to hear. I’ve just bumped up my monthly donation.
Congratulations, MINNPOST, on your commitment to defend the dignity and the economic rights of workers in your organization! This year, when I recommit my support in the form of my annual contribution to MINNPOST, I will feel even better about doing it.
